Trinity Towers Memorial Rockery

This site was added to the South Tyneside local list in 2023. The local list description reads:
'Trinity Towers was built in 1810 by the Master and Brethren of Trinity House. It was used as a pilots' look out. The tower provided a good vantage point to see ships sailing towards the River Tyne. The anchor on the tower bore the motto in Latin DEUS DABIT VELA "God will give the sails".
It became the park keepers lodge in the late 1890s and then was used as a radar training station by South Shields Marine & Technical College students.
It was demolished in 1969 and a rockery marks the site with the original anchor from the tower still on the side.'
